Jobs in Florida - Familar Signs

What jobs? I do have good news. My daughter who was laid off, is working 3 days a week.

My wife and I went out of town for a week. When we returned she went to work and was laid off. Most every family I know has been going through this. Even the small business owners are feeling the pinch.

Tomorrow 1,500 people here locally lose their jobs due to GM and Chrysler dealerships closing. We've lost a lot of small business people here.

It's getting so you should call a restaurant before driving over to make sure they're still open.

Here's to the survivors!

Be one!

Getting Laid Off is a Kick in the Teeth

My daughter started a new job this week. She was so happy. Then today she called me crying. What??

With no warning her boss said "Hold up I need to speak to you." Then the kick. "We hired too many people so we're letting you go. But we may still need you so, you're not fired. You were the last hired, so we have to let you go." Of course that was not all true, but when you take a job, that's the risk you take. They might not like your age, attituden hairdo or whatever and you're gone. After all, in this economy, anyone is expendable.

I invested $100.00 a few years ago for my own business. It has paid me for monthly 10 years, now . I get paid for work I did 10 years ago today. That's better than a job.
